Easterly Cottage

Easterly Cottage is a one-bedroom listed thatched property in Poughill, a small village roughly a mile north of Bude. It sleeps two, and the building has accessible features throughout - level entry, wide doorways, and a ground-floor bathroom. Dogs are welcome with beds provided.

Inside, the kitchen has a dishwasher and the cottage has wifi and off-street parking. The enclosed garden has room for a couple of chairs. EV charging is available on site, which is unusual for a listed rural cottage of this age and character - useful for anyone driving a longer-range electric vehicle to the north coast.

Crooklets Beach and Summerleaze are both 2.7km away - Crooklets has lifeguards in summer and a surf school, while Summerleaze sits at the mouth of Bude's canal. Northcott Mouth, a quieter stretch of sand on the exposed Atlantic coast, is 2.8km. Bude's town centre and surf hire shops are within walking distance from Poughill along country lanes.

Changeover day is Friday. The property has 71 reviews via Sykes Cottages and is rated 4 out of 5.

Best for a couple or solo traveller with a dog who wants North Cornwall coast access without Bude's summer crowds. Less suited to families needing more than one bedroom.
